Food Waste Friday – 2.25.11

Oh, joy! A zero waste week! Not only did I have no waste, but I have two success stories to report.

First, my husband wanted to throw something away because he didn’t think there was enough to save. I told him that I would first have to take a picture of it to post on Food Waste Friday. It ended up not going into the trash. I think I have a second Food Waste warrior in my house now!

Second, I saved some potatoes & turned them into deliciousness. Last week I had a few potatoes that were…ummm…in danger of growing more potatoes. While I love growing my own food as much as the next guy, this wasn’t exactly what I had planned for these taters. So I chopped & par-boiled them to extend their shelf life a bit. Then, I turned them into a bacon, egg, and potato scramble for a lazy weekend breakfast.
